The 2018 "Mr. Thanksgiving" feast is No. 48 for Vogelbaugh. Through the years he's relied on community support and donations to make the dinner happen. In a previous report he told News 8 that it takes between $25,000 and $26,000 to put the event together.

Vogelbaugh says his dinners are different. They aren't for those who strictly can't afford Thanksgiving, rather a community event for everyone to enjoy the day together. "No one should eat alone on Thanksgiving," he says.

This year's Thanksgiving Dinner will be November 22nd from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. It is absolutely free and no donations are accepted today. Vogelbaugh says, "Anyone who wants to donate can do it in the new year."
